The Agriculture & Pharmacy stream is a separate test slot from the Engineering stream and is the gateway to B.Pharm and Pharm.D admissions in Telangana's pharmacy colleges (a parallel listing of the same exam appears in the Engineering & Technology section as it also covers agriculture/pharmacy seats).
